Scanning Printed Photos
|
I recommend that printed photos are organized before scanning so that duplicates are not scanned and they can be better organized as digital images. There are several steps to getting your photos ready to scan. You can do this yourself, or we can work together to get this done during a photo organizing session.
1. Please remove photos from any albums and group them by year. 2. If you have different sizes of photos, have a bundle for each size. 3. Put a post-it note on each set of photos so they are can be dated correctly as they are scanned. If you have traditional album pages, these can also be scanned to have a back-up copy or to create a digital book. This is a wonderful option if you have multiple family members who would like a copy and preserves the handwriting in a book. Here is an example of this type of book: Traditional Book to Digital. How much does scanning cost? 4"x 6" - 8 1/2"x 11" Photos -- $75 for the first 100 photos, then $0.50 per photo. Dating photos by year is included. Photos are uploaded to an online account and can also be placed on a flash drive.
Extra small or extra large photos, irregular shaped, framed, brittle, and thick photos, and album pages - $90 per hour Extra editing of photos as well as adding names, places, and stories included with the photos adds to your memory, but this does require additional time. This is billed at an additional $80 per hour. |
